Adenomatoid tumor of adrenal gland is a very rare primary tumor with favourable prognosis. The mesothelial origin of this tumor was confirmed by multiple studies of various authors. This origin was proven by immunohistochemical and ultrastructural examinations. In our case report, we present an interesting case of the adenomatoid tumor of the right adrenal gland in a 55-year-old woman. Our case is the second well-documented case of this tumor occurring in a female adult patient. We emphasize the presence of an intraluminal thread-like bridging strands, generally considered to be a characteristic histologic feature of this tumor, which have not yet been reported in literature in adenomatoid tumor located in adrenal glands.
